Kodansha USA licensed the manga, and it describes the story:
One rainy night, Saki is rushing to a piano lesson when she crashes into a beautiful, long-haired girl, dropping her sheet music in the process. Saki stutters an apology, but the girl simply hands back her sheet music and leaves without a word. Saki begins her first day of high school the following morning, only to find the stranger from the night before sitting at the desk next to hers. She learns that the girl's name is Kanon and that she is not quite completely deaf, but very hard of hearing. Though Kanon needs to be close to people to read their lips, she tends to push people away with her icy demeanor. Through one kind gesture, Saki slowly begins breaking down the walls around Kanon, even as she feels something new blossoming within her.
Kuzushiro debuted the manga on Kodansha's Comic Days website in June 2021. Kodansha published the manga's seventh compiled book volume on June 19, and it will publish the eighth volume on November 20.
Kuzushiro also created the Egao no Taenai Shokuba Desu, Chihaya-san wa Sono Mama de Ii (You're Fine the Way You Are, Chihaya-san), Living With My Brother's Wife (Ani no Yome to Kurashiteimasu.), Tobaku Senpai Nani Kakeru?, and Akuma no Mama (Mama Akuma) manga. Egao no Taenai Shokuba Desu is listed with a television anime for 2025.
Kuzushiro launched her Inugami-san to Nekoyama-san manga in Ichijinsha's Comic Yuri Hime magazine in 2011, and ended it in January 2017. Ichijinsha published the manga's sixth and final compiled book volume in August 2017. The manga received a 13-episode television anime series adaptation, which premiered in Japan in April 2014. Crunchyroll streamed the series as it aired in Japan.
